Well we didn't have a very exciting weekend and stayed inside most of the time so yesterday I let the pups play for a while. They enjoyed tug together. Paris was funny and after a bit of tugging would lay down and then Fullerton would drag her around the room. That was good entertainment for a while. :DThen we went outside for some sunshine and fresh air. Paris and Fullerton play really well together and are pretty evenly matched. Fullerton is a little faster than Paris, but she caught up a few times. They had a good time.

Pretty Paris

Paris also met Pickles yesterday, she did great. Gave her a couple sniffs and then left her alone.

Paris and her goofy sit.

The fun ended when both pups started getting to noisy while playing so we went inside. Paris and Fullerton both collapsed on the tile to cool off. They were both loose in the house for a bit after we came inside, Fullerton (as always) would follow me around and then Paris would follow him. We had a nice parade going around the house. lol I love how they laid down so their feet made a little heart shape.

Today I took Paris out on her first outing here. We went to Wal-mart. I chose Sunday because around here there are very few people out. She was fantastic. We walked all over and she got to meet a group of little kids and she was great while they were petting her. She did get a little mouthy so I asked the kids to stop petting her at that point but she is young and it was still a successful outing.

I think I am going to start taking her to school with me tomorrow. I have a short schedule as one of my classes was canceled so we will only be there for an hour and a half. But, after today I am sure she will do just fine.
